Electric Cut is a bouldering area in Rocky Ridge Park in Pennsylvania, about 0.2 miles from Boulder View and 0.6 miles from The Fins. It sits among several climbing areas in the park, with Rocky Ridge also about 0.6 miles away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with seven routes on the V0 to V2 scale. Chonkiness, Exit Stage Left and Vemorkian are all V0, and Coin Slot and Tiger Style are V2. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in York run to highs around 67°F in April and 68°F in October, while July highs average about 88°F. That station sits roughly 470 feet lower than the park, so temperatures on the ridge run a little cooler. The Mason-Dixon Trail is about 2.8 miles away, and Avalanche Xpress, a ski touring area, is about 3.9 miles off.
